Description Clemens Cap CLA 2020-10-11 10:47:06 EDT 
The preference setting for turning off the auto-closing of strings is broken.

Although the preference is turned off (and there are not other editors installed which would have similar features), when pressing " is get "" instead of ".

Enabling or disabling the setting has not effect, even through restarts.

To be able to assign this to the correct project, which editor are you using? i.e. What is the file-type you are editing?
Comment 2 Clemens Cap CLA 2020-11-01 15:02:12 EST 
Javascript in "Generic Text Editor"

The same problem in 2022
Comment 4 Hrvoje Lončar CLA 2022-08-05 12:51:57 EDT 
Absolutely irritating because I have to delete literally as much quotes as I type. And no logic to detect if starting quote is present, it always put 2x double quote char as I type just one double quote char.

Sounds like https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper/issues/544 , which points to https://github.com/eclipse/tm4e as the project where the problem comes from.
